Willow Tarata lived her life with one goal-- avenge her
mother's death. In a game of cat and mouse with her
mother's killer, Willow has stalked and been chased by the
Bad Man since she was ten years old. She supports her goal
by getting paid to assassinate the evil-doers of the world.
Willow has one thing on her side; she is a Guardian of
Destiny with powers originating from the Wood scroll passed
down through her family for generations. She bears the mark
of a Guardian, a mark her mother bared as well. At least
it was a benefit until her powers led her to a pair of
deaths that could be linked back to her. Trying to get away
from the scene as the cops roll up, Willow uses her powers
to hide in the trees. Using her power of Chi, Willow
normally can evade anyone-- only this time Investigator Rick
Ramirez sees her, the white witch his intuitive holistic
grandma said would be tied to his soul. Now seeing a woman
with white-blond hair slinking away from his crime scene he
is reminded of her words. But how could abuelita be right?
This woman may be the killer? No. This isn't the white witch
he is destined for. No.
Kate Perry's third book in the Guardians of Destiny Series,
TEMPTED BY FATE, was a kick ass romance from beginning to
end. Willow and Rick have great chemistry and the world
Perry has created has shown the depth of each character in
such a way that you know them better than some of your
friends. This book rocked as a standalone but was even
better after I went out and bought the first two books in
the Guardian of Destiny Series. My only complaint is having
to wait for the next book.
Willow Tarata is a Guardian who trusts no one. She hunts
those who prey on the vulnerable. And she's driven by a
vengeful goal-find the man who murdered her mother. Yet
suddenly Willow 's quarry now has heron the run . . .
straight into the sights of San Francisco 's most dangerous
detective. Three bizarre murders have Inspector Rick Ramirez
baffled-and determined to uncover the truth. But to catch
the real killer, he needs the help of his prime suspect,
Willow Tarata, even though this fierce and sexy blonde is
challenging his professional cool. And now, unless they
believe in each other and trust their deepest instincts, a
relentless evil will end both Willow's and Rick's life-and
claim this Guardian's extraordinary powers forever . . .
